The Revised Nuffield Physics books for students were not conventional textbooks. In line with the aim of teaching for understanding, the books contained instructions for experiments and a large number of questions. The text for years 1 and 2 did not include answers – or expositions of theory to be learnt.

...

The Teachers’ Guides for Revised Nuffield Physics sought to convey the spirit of the approach while providing all the technical details for the experiments (based on the Guides to Experiments in the first edition). The guides suggested a language for talking about ideas in physics at an appropriate level at each...
